Anker's new USB Fast Charger 70W Pikachu Edition
Anker

Anker is known for its peripherals that usually go for substance over style or function over form. But its latest collection has decided to add a touch of playfulness. The company has announced a new Pokémon-themed tech collection in Japan to celebrate the franchise’s 30th anniversary, with five accessories carrying Pikachu and Eevee designs.

The collection is scheduled to launch in early July 2026, while Anker Japan’s official store currently lists the products as Coming Soon. This announcement also arrives after the company unveiled their recent AI-powered TWS earbuds, the Liberty 5 Pro Max.

Pikachu is now your charger

The most practical piece in the collection is the Anker USB Fast Charger 70W Pikachu Edition that is priced at 7,990 yen, or around $50. It has a yellow body with Pikachu detailing, two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, a foldable plug, and supports up to 70W output when using a single port. Anker also includes a Pokémon-designed cable and cable band, which makes it more than just a lazy paint job.

There is also an Anker Travel Adapter with the Pikachu theme, which costs around $40. It works in more than 200 countries and regions, and includes one AC outlet, two USB-A ports, and two USB-C ports.

Eevee and Pikachu earbuds are adorable

The Pokémon collection includes the Soundcore C50i Wireless Earphones in Pikachu and Eevee versions. These are ear-cuff-style open-ear earbuds, so they sit on the ear without blocking outside sound. Each earbud weighs about 5.5g, and Anker lists up to 7 hours of playback from the buds alone or up to 28 hours with the charging case. Each version is priced at 13,990 yen, or around $87.

A nifty pouch to carry them all

Rounding out the set is the limited edition Pikachu Anker Travel Pouch that costs around $25. It is designed to hold chargers, cables, and other small gadget accessories, with a rear pocket for extra storage. So you can carry all of these Pokémon-inspired gadgets in one handy bag. There is no word yet on a global launch, so for now this looks like an Anker Japan drop. It is nostalgic without being useless, and practical enough for Pokémon fans to make some impulsive purchases.

If you've ever been on vacation and chose to record video instead of taking photos only to avoid missing the fun moments, thinking you’d pause and take screenshots later, you might have ended up questioning your decision later. 

You see, the process involves multiple steps, starting from hunting for the right frame, pausing, and taking a screenshot. If it doesn’t look good, you go back to the video, pause somewhere else, and try taking another screenshot. You see where I’m going with this?
